How our structural engineers tackled complex site constraints, wind/seismic forces, and strict deadlines.
Severe coastal bora wind gusts (up to 180 km/h) and high seismic ground acceleration in the Adriatic coastal zone, combined with a tight 6-week dry framing deadline on a hillside plot.
Engineered a shear-wall strap-braced LGS framing system using 140mm exterior C-studs. All panels were flat-packed into two 40ft High Cube containers. A SerBuild senior site supervisor oversaw the local assembly crew.
Detailed static modeling, load dissipation paths, and statutory regulatory validation.
Located on a steep hillside in Split, this contemporary two-storey residence required rigorous structural engineering against severe Adriatic Bora wind gusts (up to 180 km/h) and peak ground acceleration in Croatian Seismic Zone VII. Our engineering team designed a high-tensile S350GD+Z275 light gauge steel shear-wall system with continuous 140mm external C-studs and diagonal tension strap bracings anchored via ETA-approved heavy hold-down brackets.
Verified structural calculations matching national building regulations and Eurocode annexes.
Effective width and local buckling verification for Croatian light steel buildings.
Ductile shear wall behavior and foundation hold-down tension bracket sizing.
Peak gust aerodynamic pressure calculation for hillside coastal terrain.
Double gypsum fireboard and mineral wool composite wall rating.
Seamless workflow from 3D parametric Tekla BIM to automated CNC pre-fabrication and job-site erection.
LOD 400 structural model aligned with architectural hillside constraints and Croatian building codes.
Precision roll-forming with automated dimples, pre-punched MEP holes, and inkjet member coding.
Two 40ft High Cube containers delivered directly to Split job-site via Port of Rijeka.
14-day frame assembly supervised on site by SerBuild lead structural engineer.
Comprehensive breakdown of delivered steel superstructure components, secondary framing, envelope, and dossier.
Building on a steep coastal hillside with 180 km/h winds seemed daunting, but SerBuild delivered a rock-solid steel kit that went together like clockwork in just 14 days.

Detailed answers to technical, manufacturing, export, and on-site assembly questions.
SerBuild designs and manufactures light gauge steel (LGSF) and heavy structural steel buildings for residential developments, industrial warehouses, manufacturing factories, aircraft hangars, commercial offices, and agricultural halls.
Yes. All structural engineering is performed strictly according to Eurocodes (EN 1990, EN 1991, EN 1993, EN 1998) including project-specific National Annex parameters for local snow, wind, and seismic loads.
We offer five flexible delivery packages: Engineering Only, Supply Only (containerized flat-pack kit), Supply with On-Site Supervision, Complete Frame Installation, and Turnkey Project Delivery in eligible regions.
Components are precision roll-formed or cut, permanent piece-marked, and packed in dense weather-protected flat-pack bundles optimized for 40ft High Cube containers, accompanied by detailed 3D packing lists and assembly manuals.
